Yesterday I set my DVR to record the funeral which was listed on NBC from
12 to 1:30 PM. Today I saw that it had recorded only a half hour which was
probably the length of what usually plays at Noon on Saturdays. I saw from
the first hymn by the choir through Jon Meacham's tribute.

I often play "In the Garden" at a monthly service that my church does at a
local nursing home. In my opinion the soloist this morning sang it much too
slowly.
